I am so sorry for you. On Dec. 2 we lost our 5 yr old GSD the same way, and I wanted them to try and save him, but he died with his head in my arms before they could do anything for him. I know your pain. A puppy (in our case, another rescue) will never replace him, but will help you move on. It will give you another creature to focus on, you will have less time to dwell on your loss. Remember the good times, the good memories, the warm memories, and the pain of that day will lessen with time.

I'm sorry for your loss I too wanted with all my heart to try and save him... but felt that there was really nothing that could be done. After I got home and looked into the procedure he would have had to go through, I was glad I made the decision I had.

Thank you to everyone once again, it's really nice to be able to speak with people who know what it's like to lose a dog... and that understand they were more than just a dog. Don't have many people outside my family that understand why we were hit so hard by his loss.

Hi am so sorry for your loss. I lost my sweet AJ at 13 1/2 in September. It takes time to get over the loss. I still cry almost daily and can not talk about him without tearing up again.

I've been a long time lurker for awhile here and seems I've only now gotten around to finally posting, so I'd like to say hello.

Unfortunately we had to put our boy down last week, his spleen ruptured and he had massive internal bleeding... Vet said she was almost certain it was cancer,

wow he looked a lot like Riley. Our boy we had to have put to sleep last year was a GSD/BC mix, black with the white on his chest. Seems to be common for the cross.
